l present upon the market, and beef-snot may To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, WILLIAM J. BARRICK- MAN and Jossrn C. BYERS, citizens of the United States of America, residing at Butler, in the county of Butler and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cleaning Compounds, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a new composition of matter which is employed for cleaning the skin.

The primary object of the invention is to provide a composition the ingredients of which are easily available and comparatively inexpensive, the ingredients employed forming a composition capable of removing stains, grease, and filth from the skin.

Our composition, or cleaner, as it will be hereinafter termed, is particularly adapted for mechanics and artisans who havev their hands and face soiled by machinery-oil and grease that are'extremely diflicult to remove by the use of ordinary soap and water. Our com osition when applied to the skin of the han s and face softens the stain or grease to be removed and permits of the same being. removed by cold or warm water.

The cleaner is composed of ingredients w ich are harmless but beneficial to the skin, t 1e cleaner tending to soften the skin and re turn it to its normal condition.

In 'Inanufacturing our cleaner we'employ inorganic substances or ingredients which are thoroughly mixed and comminglcd to produce a salve .or grease-like composition, and the ingredients which we employ are as follows, the approximate amount of each ingredient used being stated: clay, eighty-two er cent. oil, fifteen per cent. concentrated ye, oneper cent.; tallow, oncpcrccnt. glyc-' erin, one per cent.

The clay which we use is the ordinary yellow cla obtainable from the earth, and we preiera ly use clay having very little mois- The clay is baked in an oven or. in the sun until it is thoroughly dry, at which time it is pulverized or granulated to a ver :fine consistcnc r resemblim lion We )referably employ a vegetable such as insecd-oil or olive-oil or any other oil possessing the same characteristics as tlhe oil mentioned. The concentrated lye ei'nployed is that kind easily obtainable moi of.

be readily substituted for the tallow em- 5 ployed in the cleaner.

1 1n mixing and commingling the abovementioned ingredients to produce a small quantity of the cleaner the first stop involved consists of using half a gallon of water and I lalf a teaspoonful of lye, the water and the i lye being boiled thoroughly until the volume is reduced to one-half pint. To tliis one-haltpint solution is added the finely-pulverized clay, and the solution is thoroughly agitated until the clay has connningled with the solution. The solution is now permitted to stand approximately two days to permit of the solution congealing or reaching semifluid state. The oil is then added to the cleaner to give a smooth effect, and after the oil has been thoroughly mixed the tallow and glycerin are added to the cleaner, these last-named ingredients being used as healing a cuts for the skin when the cleaner is app ied thereto.

- To the composition or cleaner may be added suitable coloring-matter, also perluinery, to give the com osition a leasing appearance and also an 0 or that wil not be disagreeable to a person using the composition.

primarily, as a scourer or cutting element for taking hold of the grease or stems that may adhere to the skin, and the lye employed through a chemical action common to lye removes the filth that may adhere to the skin.

The oil, tallow, and glycerin serve healin medicamcnts which will soften the skin and plaoeit in perfect'condition.

An important characteristic of our cleaner rosiilos in the fact that it can be readily used in connection with cold water as well as warm water, the ingredients ol the cleaner being soluble enough to take hold of any lilth or dirt that may adhere to the skin.

Wc do not care to confine ourselves to the pres-:aibcd amounts ofleac'h ingredient used, as the percentage of ciicll may be varied according to the consistency and properties otthe cleaner desired.

What we claim, and desire to secure by Lett rs Patent,
